Don't buy that cute Switch 2 Piranha Plant camera - it's rubbish


A look at a charming but sadly quite bad camera peripheral for the Switch 2.

First impressions are good: it's got lovely packaging, and when you free it from its box only the most miserable of gits would conclude that this thing isn't incredibly charismatic. While background detail is a touch grainy, I'm sure some of you beautiful nerds can identify some of the games on the shelf behind me, or make out an Arwing, or a Sonic Screwdriver, or whatever. The Piranha Plant is cute as hell, cleverly designed, a conversation piece... and inherently comparatively rubbish in its primary purpose as a camera.
